My hair is naturally blonde but as I got older it'd get a little darker to about a dirty blonde. I dyed my hair blonder when I was 12 but thought it looked
A little orange so I waited a little and
Dyed it an ash blonde and eventually
That faded away to dirty blonde again. So when I turned 14 I started dying my hair light blonde but eventually I dyed my hair brown. After a while I wanted my hair blonde again so my sister stripped the brown out and dyed it honey blonde but awhile later I dyed it reddish brown and just yesterday I used a light blonde hair dye on it and now it's orangish! What can I do to get the orange out of my hair and make it light blonde again?

Any hair place should be able to bleach your hair... its not like cloths bleach, but stuff specifically made to make hair yellow/white... blonde... My hair is dark brown, almost black, and I've had my father, a cosmetologist, bleach it a few times... It works, but I would recommend going to a salon to do it.

How long should I wait? And I heard that there are products to wash the dye out would that work?

Uncanny.

I don't know about getting the dye out, but I also think bleaching is the option. The thing with th blonde dye you used is that it probably contained bleach already so you won't be able to get your natural colour back even with dye removing products because bleach removes the pigment. If you don't want that bleached hair colour, you can also wait a couple of days after bleaching lightly and then put in darker blonde dye. The darker colour will set in your hair because there will be no pigment left to counter balance it and make it red. The problem with this is that it is very harmful for your hair. It may be dry after that and you will have some split ends.

If you really don't like the dark "dirty" blonde and want to limit the damage to your hair, I suggest going darker instead. Blonde can be overrated and dark is sultry ;) Whatever you choose to do, I recommend that you avoid leaving the products in your hair for too long. You really don't want your hair to start falling off.
